    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    No long tubes. I do have eq length headers though. The starting problem cant be cold/hot related because after driving, I went in the house for an hour, came out to jump it and it started. I backed it up, pulled it in the garage, turned it off and tried to restart and no go, nothing...

    Glowing Red Catalytic Converter

    Take the pipe off, get another H-pipe from some where, I always have an extra for smog. It is either rich (doubt), a burnt valve (doubt) or a partialy clogged cat (ding ding). The answer you got from the company was BS! If you smell rotten eggs, that is a clogged cat, or at least a partially...

    Off road H question

    When you take off your stock H-pipe, use a saws all and cut the tube about 6 inches up. Go to a Napa and get a foot of silicone heater hose, its expensive, but can handle the heat. Use two hose clamps and connect the new to the old. I have two Mustangs that way and it works great. you'll...

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    Don't have a separate solonoid. This is an SN 95 with a built in solonoid to the starter. The auto parts store would kick me out if I brought back the starter for the 4th time. I liken the solonoid but I jumped it at the terminals a few times and it just clicked, but other times it would...

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    If you read my post it shows that I made all new ground wires. It will start once in a while but it is like the battery is being drained but all the lights etc work. I basically made all new positive and negative cables to try to TS this issue. I have warranties on all my new parts except the...

    Bye Bye State Farm Insurance

    I got in an accident with another state farm "member". Well that was all wrong. Not only did they fix my car they funked it up. I can count the things that were not fixed and replaced with used parts on both my hands. I tried to get the body shop to fix them but they basically told me it...

    How much would a Stock GT ECU sell for??

    I second this. T-5 swaps need the T4M0 computer. The auto computer will not work with manual tranny. $100 is a great start.

    Power Steering problems...

    My dipstick seems to drag along the tube picking up oil and is hardly readable in my 95 GT. It reads about 4" above the line but I know that is a false reading. I also know it eats oil so I have to watch it, as long as its on the stick, I don't really worry too much. But I think what you are...

    Cobra drive gear. What # of teeth

    Mike, I was looking at Halon motorsports website and saw that there is a calculator there to tell you the correct drive/driven gears. I guess I'll just have to pull the tranny again and replace the drive gear. I just wasn't sure what tooth count the stock drive gear has because I was almost...

    Please Help with problem

    MYTIGHT95, I experienced the same problem a few years back with my 95 Mustang. I swapped every ignition part that jrichtor said except for the computer. I found a used T4M0 (Mustang 5 speed) computer on Ebay and that was the problem. Turns out that after my trans swap, I was still using...

    Cobra drive gear. What # of teeth

    I have a 95 Cobra and I am preparing to install 3.73's in the rear, 3.08 are in. I am trying to figure out what driven gear to put in during the change. My other 95 Mustang has a 23 tooth and is off by 7 mph at 30 mph. That is close enough for me, I just don't know if the cobra trannies have...

    Power steering whinning.

    My 95 was whining like a half kild cat a while back. I swore the pump was making the noise, so I got a new pump (like a dumb a**). Well, it still whined, not as bad (it had new fluid), but still whined. Then I decided to change the intermediate pulley from a nice aluminum (Wazee) billet...

    Door lock noises!..?

    Squirt a little WD-40 in the key hole and the back of the lock cylinder (after door panel removal). The arm to the solinoid goes to the lock cylinder that turns and squeeks after a few years. If you don get the back, the cyl wil come apart just like my 95 vert's did.

    4 banger tranny in a 5.0?

    I know those 4 banger tranny's have a different gear ratio. I think first is a little lower (could be good for gettin outa the hole) but otherwise, they are the same tranny. I don't think they put weaker steel in the gears, shafts, or synchros, right? Why would Ford do that? :D I found...

    My rear needs to vent

    ---Only bad thing about a vacum is that it will tend to draw in moisture.--- Somebody has to clean that hoover out! You have to have a dedicated non-carpet hoover! :rlaugh:

    Throwout bearing, creaking noise? Lack or grease maybe?

    The first one I got was a standard Ford bearing from the dealer. The second (non-squeeking) bearing was the same part number as the first and it came from the FRPP King Cobra clutch kit. Just buy a good TB because having to rip the tranny out AGAIN sucks!!!!!! Use a good $50 (Ford) steel...

    Throttle sticks / have to tap accelerator pedal

    Sure sounds like the TB is sticking. I have a spring on both of my 95's and the 4 banger. If you don't have a spring on the TB, I suggest getting one. Thats what their for, returning the pedal. If that does not apply, you may have a catching cable, which is fairly rare but could happen...
